F'n awesome!

 

[joeshmo]

I love IT.

Go back to the thread about the rumor trade for reasons why.

 

[Renz]

Good move. He needed out of NY. I think he'll do well here.

 

[Pariah]

LOVE IT!

...see, I told you there would be something we would get excited about.

 

[SeattleCard]

I Heart Whiz And Graves!

 

[Shane]

This ain't yo mommas cards folks!

 

[CtCardinals78]

Wow sounds like we stole him. Rhodes>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rolle

 

[Arizona's Finest]

HUUUUUGE!!! Love this move.

Nice answer and only an extra 4th rounder given up! Now we can leave safety alone.

 

[WarnerHOF]

Can't be worse than Rolle.

 

[joeshmo]

So the Boldin trade could have really been

Boldin, 5th, 2011 7th

For

Kerry Rhodes and a 3rd

(the 4th we got and the 4th we gave away cancel out)

Not bad at all.

Cards are making a move. I like it. And after looking at the way Joe breaks it down it sounds even better.

Via Twitter:

Cardinals get Kerry Rhodes for a 4th and 7th. That's a bargain. According to this study ... he was the 2nd best S last yr.

Jets trade Kerry Rhodes to Cardinals

Posted by Michael David Smith on March 6, 2010 6:59 PM ET

Kerry Rhodes is on the move.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the New York Jets have traded Rhodes to the Arizona Cardinals for a fourth-round pick this year and a seventh-round pick next year.

For the Cardinals, they pick up a safety a day after Antrel Rolle signed with the New York Giants. For the Jets, they get rid of a safety who was unhappy with his role in the defense in 2009.

The Jets also get rid of a safety they claimed they were going to keep. General managers don't always tell the truth.

Can't be worse than Rolle.

He's a better player than Rolle. IMO we upgraded! I'm am f'n stoked!

 

[Shane]

Let's not forget he is under contract very reasonably for next 4 years too!

 

[JerkFace]

lol...his wikipedia page has already been updated stating that he is a member of the Cards.

 

[joeshmo]

Scouts Inc. offers this analysis on Rhodes: "Rhodes has size, athletic skills and functional play strength. He has deceptive speed and physical toughness. He shows good speed and quickness as a blitzer. He has been a very physical and productive player coming off the edge in zone dogs. He has good closing speed underneath. He takes good angles when supporting the run but can be inconsistent in this phase of the game."

Wow. Didn't see an upgrade coming at FS. Go Cards

 

[O]

Two trades in two days.
When was the last time before yesterday the Cards made a trade?

 

[SeattleCard]

Boys... I am smelling SUPERBOWL..

 

[joeshmo]

He's a better player than Rolle. IMO we upgraded! I'm am f'n stoked!

I think he is as well. One step forward at FS and if we can sign Foote who would be one step back at WILB. We are back at where we started.

What I want to know is has Docket commented on this yet.

This.

 

[joeshmo]

Two trades in two days.
When was the last time before yesterday the Cards made a trade?

And they happened fast without months of rumor beforehand.

 

[Unsterblich856]

WHAT!?

We got an all-pro safety for some late round picks? What? Not to mention he is better than Rolle.
